These don't send the same message. One says I hate this kill me, the other one is someone who isn't happy to play with super soakers. The new gun emojis make me feel like the first one.
It seems that as far as emojis go--as in being cartoony representations of something, generally just for fun--seems like either one conveys about the same thing. Now, if things are to be taken more seriously as far as meaning and interpretations...well...then it seems like emojis wouldn't really be the most appropriate thing to use anyway.These don't send the same message.

I happen to have an opinion on something just like everyone else has an opinion about something and that's what we are discussing here, right? So far it would seem that I replied about the subject of discussion simply commenting on it, while you have commented on the actual poster and posts and not the subject...seems like the criticism lies elsewhere.
He should be taken out and squirted with a water pistol for daring to disagree
I mean, disagreeing is one thing but he seems to do it 10x more than the average person, haha
What is 10x more than an average person? Perhaps an emoji could be used to demonstrate that?
I understand, but it would be a feature or enhancement request rather than a bug report, even though it's still filed in the same place (and using the same kind of form).
Apple and/or the committee behind emojis bowed to political pressure... http://www.popsci.com/apple-removes-gun-emoji-replaces-it-with-squirt-gun
Wait – The revolver has really been changed to a squirt gun? That's just sad.
Edit: Just saw your link above. What the **** Apple?
Edit 2:
Holy ****. My phone just updated to bring me a keyboard of new emojis and I literally screamed at it and hit the phone to the floor. I started yelling and swearing at it and I slammed the phone on the floor. I’m so distressed right now I don’t know what to do. I didn’t mean to do that to my phone but I’m literally in shock from the new emoji changes today. I feel like I’m going to explode. Why the ****ing **** are they changing? This can’t be happening. I’m having a ****ing breakdown. I don’t want to believe the world is so insane. I want a future with better emojis. I want Steve to be president and fix this broken keyboard of emojis. I cannot ****ing deal with this right now. It wasn’t supposed to be like this, I thought the old emojis were so popular???? This is so ****ed.
Is anyone else having trouble figuring out if this is a serious post or not?
Not surprised Americans are defending their gun rights!!!!
I actually can't stop laughing at the water gun and how mad some of you are.

Stupid. A revolver emoji can exist as long as a revolver does. We should have seen this coming with the previous triathlon rifle objection.
Well at least now that firearms are removed from our emoji gun violence will finally end.
Now if we can just get the bomb and explosion removed, the terrorists will be neutered.

I'd say it qualifies as a Keyboard Enhancement Request.

What are you talking about? It's been clearly a Martian ray gun! It's now much more lethal!
It's a joke based on this copy pasta ಠ_ಠ

That's my best attempt at emojifiying it. Doing this reminds me of how pointless emojis are.
Edit: In the editor, it showed tons of emojis. Not even 10% of them are appearing now.
